On Hosting His New Show: I CAN'T STOP LAUGHING!

The Mean Girls alum is having a blast with his Food Network hosting gig

He once said becoming host of Cake Wars in 2014 was “the biggest blessing of my life” — and nearly a decade later, Jonathan Bennett is feeling even more grateful. His latest Food Network project, Battle of the Decades — in which chefs from different generations face off using ingredients from the past along with new viral recipes and trends — debuted in August. “I’m pinching myself,” says the 42-year-old. “I’ve never laughed harder. I’m cracking up the whole time.” Here, Jonathan (who also hosts Halloween Wars) talks to In Touch’s Fortune Benatar about married life (he and fellow TV host Jaymes Vaughan, 40, wed in March 2022), his lasting friendship with his Mean Girls co-star Lindsay Lohan and his guilty pleasure.
